Random Thoughts - Happy Wednesday

Well, it's Wednesday and that means getting my senior citizen discount at Kroger tonight. Whoo Hoo!

This morning I was thrilled to hear Noah on 104.7 The Fish do his Junior Joker Joke of the day. He was very enthusiastic. Love that little fellow bunches and bunches!

The beautiful Fall weather is making me have Happy Feet. Of course, Dancing with the Stars is back so I just love to live vicariously though all the dancers. Oh, to be able to dance like they do! WOW That would be something to wish for.

Monday evening, we went out with Nancy and Jim to celebrate Jim's birthday and our anniversary. We had the most delicious babyback ribs - oh man were they good. Yummmmm. Thanks Nancy and Jim for a wonderful evening! Celebrations are so much fun!

Peggie asked us all to share a childhood memory from time to time on our blogs. I have been thinking about lots of them but one that comes to mind is the 6th grade class trip from Phenix City by way of Columbus, Georgia to Atlanta. It was a magic place to me because of my deep love of Southern history and Gone with the Wind. Atlanta was very different in those days. You could still see the tracks where the trolleys had run downtown. The 6th grade class ate at the S&W cafeteria. In those days girls didn't wear jeans to school or to any special events so we wore dresses and rode on the Nancy Hanks Train. It was a trip we had looked forward to since first grade. It was an adventure for us small town children to go to the big city of Atlanta. Stone Mountain was not a resort then and undeveloped. Not touristy at all. I have photos from those days but alas I am at work and don't have them on this computer. It was a memorable trip. I loved school and this trip was a wonderful reward and end to elementary school days.

I'll try Peggie's advice and when I can't think of something to blog about, I will dip into my memory banks and share events.

Be kind, Sue
